Packaging


Beyond traditional coil packaging (“ribbon” or “pancake”), we offer enhanced capabilities and benefits including…

Oscillate-Wound CoilOscillate Coil Winding (a.k.a. Traverse Coil Winding)

In this method, slit coil is stagger-wound (similar to cloth thread or fishing line) over a wider spool. This is in contrast to the conventional ribbon-winding process, in which the coil is wound “edge flush.” Oscillate winding enables a much longer strip (est. 7x-15x) to fit onto an inside diameter (ID), thus reducing coil-changeover downtime, and increasing production runs. Our customers realize large gains in terms of:

  • productivity rise exceeding 15% typically
  • increased coil yields (i.e., far less head and tail loss)
  • reduced scrap (fewer dollars wasted)
  • reduced labor (fewer operators needed for coil mountings)
  • reduced tool fatigue and increased tool life
  • reduced injury risk; savings in terms of health care and worker compensation

Galvanized Coil BundlesCoil Bundles (a.k.a. “Cluster Coils”)

Beyond traditional individual slit coil “pancake” bundling, Tool King offers coil bundling. In this method, 8-10 mults are ribbon-wound recoiled on a fiber core, then banded as a single unit. The core can be loaded either “eye-to-sky” or “eye-to-side.” This package construction offers significant customers benefits…

  • reduced material handling for increased efficiency
  • enhanced worker safety - reducing injury and medical claims
  • increased plant space
